Piper Rayne is a new author to me and why on earth I have not red books from these authors before I have no idea.
I loved Crushing on the Cop from start to finish. The characters, the plot, just everything about this story captured my attention..
This is the second book in the series and I have already gone and purchased book one to read as soon as time permits. It can definitely be read as a stand alone but I enjoyed these characters so much that I wanted more ASAP.
Cristian Bianco is a cop, the very last person a daughter of a Police Commander wants to get involved with. However the chemistry between Cristian and Vanessa is off the charts and despite her misgivings she slowly but sure;surely becomes involved with him.
Cristian is my idea of a hero a cop who absolutely dotes on his family and is a caring and supportive friend. He is also a tad Alpha so that was an added bonus.
Not only was their smoking hot chemistry within the pages but there was drama, angst, danger and plenty of humour. The camaraderie Cristian shares with his brothers, particularly through text messages, had me laughing out loud at times.
I particularly loved the ending of the book which leads us in to the next brother Luca and you can be assured I will be diving into that book as soon as it releases.

I've read quite a few of Piper Rayne's books but so far the Blue Collar Brothers series is my favorite. I loved Maddie and Mauro in Flirting with Fire and I was super excited to get my hands on Christian and Vanessa's story. I just knew that it will be a lot of fun with a pinch of heartbreak and a sprinkle of suspense. And I wasn't disappointed.
From the very first page of the story, I was captivated by the characters. Christian and Vanessa are definitely different than Mauro and Maddie but they are no less fun to be around :D Christian is the type of a sexy responsible alpha male that every woman craves. On the surface, he is proper, a real gentleman but behind closed doors he has such a dirty mouth that he will make you crave him like no one else. Vanessa on the other hand is a little bit of the rebelling type. Which considering her father is the chief of police, is not that surprising. And at a first glance it looks like Christian and Vanessa shouldn't work as a couple but they fit perfectly together. They are each others yin and yang.
I am not going to reveal any more of the story but I definitely recommend you pick it up. It can be read as a standalone so you don't have to start from the first book in the series, though you would want to read that one as well :) As for me, I can't wait to get my hands on Engaged to the EMT. I think that one will be hilarious :D
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This series is going to kill me! These Bianco brothers are so funny, sexy and their story is a great read.
This time we are reading about the middle child, Christian Bianco, the one who does it all right, the cop, the runner and all healthy. He is a great guy and all momma's boy. How come Vanessa, the daughter of the Captain of Police (and Christian's boss) will have nothing with him!? She is crazy and lucky for her she discover in the story how wonderful he is. Actually, Christian too discover Vanessa for who she is and the lovely hurting soul that she is.
I loved this book and looking forward to Luca!

This book was a real delight to read due to the cop Cristian and the sassy feisty Vanessa!
Cristian is the true hero, dotes on his family and teases his brothers but has a real heart of gold and his persistence-pays off!
I wasn’t sure if Vanessa had something awful to hide as she wasn’t very forthcoming but the sizzling chemistry between them was high and I guess you cant deny your feelings or desires.
This might be my first book by the author and it wont be my last!
The story had lots to keep me reading, drama, tension, witty banter and beautiful friendships and family surrounding them both!
There was also some rather poignant words in the book. I really liked whatever Cristian said but the texting between Cristian and his brothers had me laughing!!! Men hey yes they can be boys when they want to be lol
So flipping good and I can’t wait for more!

Piper Rayne has done it yet again...she has made me fall in love with yet another Bianco brother, this time it’s Cristian, the police officer. I couldn’t help but fall for him and the story he and Vanessa have to tell. Boy, is it a good one!!!!
I knew from the first book that there was some mystery surrounding Vanessa, and I finally got to know what it was. Cristian is the date Vanessa is supposed to go on, bought and paid for by her friend. Every time Cristian asks her, she refuses. Her father is the Commander and is Cristian’s boss. She isn’t interested in dating a cop, and she certainly doesn’t want her father putting his nose in her business. She is used to him knowing everything about her, and she has worked hard to change that, and Cristian certainly doesn’t fit it with that plan. However, he continues to work his way into her heart, making her into a completely different woman than she was at the beginning of the book...becoming the woman she was always meant to be.
What woman wouldn’t love Cristian? He’s incredibly sexy...the man makes compression pants sexy and manly. His most endearing and attractive quality is his heart. He loves his family and makes sure they all know it...even his brothers, who aggravate him to no end. He always checks on his parents and always make sure his brothers remember important dates. He wants to be with Vanessa in all the right ways, but she can take his caring for her as trying to control her. He has his work cut out for him, but if a man can make Vanessa fall for him, it’s Cristian.
I loved the way this book was written from the beginning until the end. Just as with the first book, our Bianco boy begins with a personal note to us. That right there is what makes me feel like I’m a part of the story itself...he’s talking personally to the readers. What a genius way to engage readers!!!! When you add in the humor and laughs, it’s just about a perfect read!!!!
I just love the whole Bianco family. I kind of feel like they are my own, and I love the scenes where all of them are together. Cristian’s mother is a saint...I just loved her. She has a heart of gold, and she doesn’t mind giving it to anyone. It’s because of her love for others that her boys are so special too. I can’t wait to see them again...very soon...it will be Luca’s turn. I’m sure I’ll fall for him too despite his reputation!!!!

5 'Handcuff my heart' stars.
Awwwww, Cristian Bianco, bestill my beating heart.
Crushing On The Cop in the second book in the ‘Blue Collar Brothers’ series by Piper Rayne and it was so sweet at times it nearly gave me toothache. Of course it wasn’t all sunshine and flowers because Vanessa, our heroine was more than a little gun-shy of commitment and relationships in general. We met her in Maddie and Mauro’s book, Flirting With Fire. She was strong and independent, didn’t take anybody’s nonsense. She was so guarded and closed off to begin with, that she’s lucky Cristian had such a determined streak in him. He didn’t give up, just kept plugging away until she finally relented.
The push and pull were always there between them as was the scorching chemistry and flirty banter. But, Vanessa had a secret, it was something that played out over the course of this story and when it came to a resolution, Cristian was ‘the man’ he was sooo HOT in that situation.
Vanessa spent a long time, holding Cris at arms length, and even pushed him away at one point, so it was nice to see her come her senses in time. Yet another HAWT and sexy story from this amazing duo, and that little Lauren and Luca snippet at the end of the book!!! OMG, I want book 3 NOW. Can’t wait until December.

I am crushing hard on the Bianco brothers! First Mauro, and now we meet Cristian. We knew Vanessa and Cristian were oil and water from the first book. But Wow what same great chemistry that comes out of it. Cristian is charismatic and Vanessa is fiery. I loved the story and I love when these two finally give in. But the huge question in my mind when I was reading this book was, "Will these two have their own HEA?" I was not sure what to expect with our main characters.
We get the other two brothers as our side dish and that was the icing on the cake. Crushing on the Cop was 5 stars amazing and will be added to my shelf as a re-read. There is no doubt that you will love this Italian bunch and the girls that come along!

Even though this is book 2 in the series, it's the first I've read by this writing duo. But I couldn't not jump at the chance to read this book. The blurb drew me in, and I just knew I'd love it. A hot cop, a bit of humor, some romance. How can you go wrong?!? I was a little concerned, since this is book 2, but I had no trouble keeping up. However, now I want to go back to read Maddy and Mauro's story!
Cristian is a police officer, second son in Bianco family. He is dependable, strong, and determined. He took one look at Vanessa and knew she was the one for him. Vanessa, on the other hand, is the only daughter of the Police Commander, her mother having died when she was young. She is fiercely independent, and doesn't let anyone get close.
Ok, so I have to admit it. I really, really didn't like Vanessa to begin with. She was snarky, manipulative, and just plain mean to Cristian. As sweet as he was, I just didn't get why she was that way with him. And I could tell early on that she was hiding something, I just didn't know what. But the more I read, the more I realized that there is a reason that she is that way.
The characters in this series are tightly knit, and the book itself is hilarious. I spent a lot of the story laughing at the interactions between the characters. There are a few tense moments, but for the most part, it's a fun read that could put anyone in a better mood!
